Pet care experience

Dog Walks by Kate & Andrew

Hi, we’re Kate and Andrew. We’re a husband-and-wife team who enjoy spending time with dogs and have helped friends and family with dog walking and pet care over the last couple of years. We’re happy to provide walks, fresh water, feeding, playtime, and plenty of fuss and attention during drop-in visits. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is being looked after while you’re out, and we’ll care for them as if they were our own. We’re reliable, friendly, and happy to keep you updated, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure doors and windows are locked properly before I leave and I double-check everything so the home is secure. I’m respectful of people’s homes and will always follow any instructions given! If I notice anything not quite right with a cat, I’ll let the owner know straight away. I’ll stay with the cat, keep an eye on them, and if I’m still concerned I’ll contact their vet. In an emergency or if the vet is closed, I would take them to the nearest vet and keep the owner updated the whole time. I would never take a cat out of their home unless it was an emergency or I was asked to. I keep communication flexible depending on what the owner wants — some people like regular updates, photos and videos, others prefer fewer messages so they can relax, and I’m happy to adapt. I also respond pretty quickly so owners aren’t left worrying. My own cat is quite anxious and not used to other cats, so I really understand how important it is for cats to stay in their familiar environment and feel settled. Overall, my priority is always making sure each cat feels safe, calm, and well looked after in their own home.

Schedule

My routine is pretty consistent, which means I can offer reliable care that fits around your cat’s needs. I work an NHS 9–5 role and work from home twice a week, so I have flexibility during the day on those days, and I’m usually home in the evenings with my husband and our own cat, Autumn. I offer 1–2 visits a day depending on what’s needed, and I’m flexible with timing, especially in the evenings. Visits are usually around 10–20 minutes, but I always adjust depending on the cat and what the owner prefers — some cats just want a quick check-in, while others are happier with a bit of company, fuss, or play. I take my lead from the cat and what they’re comfortable with!

It really helps to know a few things about your cat before I start, like their usual routine, feeding times, litter habits, and any quirks or behaviours so I can understand what’s normal for them. Their personality is also important — whether they’re shy, confident, anxious, or playful — as this helps me approach them in the right way from the beginning. I also need to know about any medical needs, medication, or special diets. Finally, it’s helpful to know how often you’d like updates, so I can keep you reassured in the way that suits you best. It all just helps me keep things calm, consistent, and comfortable for your cat while you’re away.
